Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007127603A2] Method and device to create energized polymers that can be used for pain relief, comprised of an ultrasound system that ultrasonically energize polymers that can then be used to provide an analgesic effect. Ultrasound waves are delivered to a polymer through direct contact, through a coupling medium, or without contact in order to energize the polymer. Other energies such as such as UV. microw ave, laser, electricity, RF, sun. light, magnetic/electromatinenc, etc can also be used to energize the polymer. The energized polymer can be immediately placed on a user to provide an analgesic effect, or the energized polymer can be placed storage material and removed at a later time to he placed on a user to provide an analgesic effect.
